PVC Live Rock Layout
Since I am going to have to take out most of my rock in my 90g to get to a Eunicid worm I am thinking of getting away from the boring rock pile/wall setup. How exactly are people using PVC to suport these neat rock structures? Also, is it a good idea to keep the rock just a little but about the sand? Seems like it is a waste to have 3 inches of rock underneath the sand doing nothing. Any pictures would be appreciated. I think that some of the setups that use PVC are much better than a wall for fish movement and coral growth.

I read that some people will drill 2 holes in the pvc and zip-tie the rock to it. That way if you zip-tie throught the 2 holes in the pvc the rock wont slide around. I believe thats the way allot of people do like ledges and stuff like that. I'm not to sure about the rock above the sand tho.
